Free App Friday: Walgreens

After a short hiatus, Free App Friday has returned to fulfill wishes. Each week we've promised to bring you something you never knew you needed, but could no longer live without. We bring you an app that could only be unlocked to its true potential with the power of iOS 6. This is Walgreens.

Despite looking like the dedicated app of the Washington Nationals, Walgreens is surprisingly stacked, bringing Passbook integration for your Balance Rewards card and a whole other host of features. The ability to refill prescriptions via the iPhone's camera to scan previous labels is decidedly space age, and honestly cool. If you head to the photo counter, you can quickly load photos from your iPhone or Facebook to be made into prints.

Have you ever worried that you're too far from a Walgreens? Have no fear, the Walgreens app will locate the nearest store. Coupons can be loaded directly from your iOS device, and the weekly ads that are in your mailbox right now (seriously, I'll bet you 50 Monopoly dollars) can be quickly accessed with many a tree spared.

With pill alerts, QuickPrints, and even a clinic locator, this powerful little app may not seem like a thrill-a-minute but it delivers and does so with swagger.
